With that little range of motion, I could probably even do about 800 lbs. I'm sure there are guys like Mikesell or Miller who could do well over 1,500 on something like that.

I love how guys that big are always in the sweats and beenies. It's like the big mofo dressing code.

I think they'd have to do a little training, but yeah I'm sure they could.

I believe Guido is doing 630lbs with the actual barbell. He has the bar on the pins, goes under, and locks it out.

It's probably different from person to person. I have done close to 700 (actually 320 kg) in a squat lockout (6" ROM) when I never even squatted or deadlifted. Another guy tried it who was the same size, but squatted 450. He couldn't budge it. But then again I would get stapled if I tried full squatting with 450. :)

Still: 700 felt very heavy, so can't imagine what twice that must feel like. Maybe I should try and find out. :D

I'm sure you are right. I see many high school kids who can easily high-box squat twice or more what they can parallel squat. The ratio does seem to even out a little as the numbers get higher.
